As recorded by Conway Twitty (From the 1966 Album SINGS) [Verse 1]
            G
The old hometown

G
Looks the same

     C                  G
As I step down from the train

G
And there to meet me

                   D7
Was my mama and my papa

             G
And down the road

G
I look and there runs Mary

C
Hair of gold and lips, like cherry

     G
It's good to touch the

D7                    G
Green, green grass of home
[Chorus]
G                        G7
Yes, they'll all come to meet me

     C
Arms areached and smiling sweetly

        G
It's so good to touch the

D7                    G
Green, green grass of home
[Verse 2]
G
The old house is still standing

           C                G
Though the paint is cracked and dry

G
And there's that old oak tree

               D7
That I used to play on

         G
Down the lane I walk

G
With my sweet Mary

C
Hair of gold and lips, like cherry

     G
It's good to touch the

D7                    G     G7
Green, green grass of home
[Bridge]
G7
Then I awoke

C
And look around me

G
 At these four grey walls that surround me

         D7
And I realize that I was only dreaming

    G
For there's a guard

                            C
And there's a sad old padre, arm in arm

C
We'll walk at daybreak

     G     N.C.
Then again I'll touch the

N.C.                       D7
Green, green grass of home
[Out-Chorus]
        G
They'll all come to see me

       C
In the shade of that old oak tree

        G
As they lay me neath the

D                     C G
Green, green grass of home...
